Psalm 23

I have been a member of the Woodville United Methodist Church for 84 years.  I can still remember back to my first Sunday School teacher, Mrs. Fisher, when I was 3-4 years old.  During confirmation, we'd learn a verse at a time, until we could recite the entire 23rd Psalm, which I can still do today.  One of our teachers had died and her final request was that the Sunday School children would follow behind her casket at the funeral.  I told my mother I just couldn't do it; I had dreams, I worried and fretted.   I went to bed praying that I wouldn't have to go . . . when I awoke, I was covered in measles!  I said thank you to God over and over!
In difficult situations and in everyday life, I have kept the Lord as my Shepherd!
